Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Classic & Custom Collar Measurement System

 

Our classic collars are produced using an inch-based numeric scale. Each size directly reflects your dog’s neck circumference, allowing for a tailored, proportional fit.

If guidance is needed at any stage, feel free to reach out before ordering.

A dog with a 16-inch neck, for example, would wear a size 16 collar. That measurement corresponds to the center hole of the collar (distance between reference Points A and B in our diagram). Buckle hardware should not be included in the measurement.

 

Please note:
When using an existing collar as a reference, the correct hole may not be the middle one. Always measure to the hole that currently provides the best fit.

Method 1 — Measuring an Existing Collar

  1. Select a collar your dog wears comfortably.

  2. Lay it flat on a table or floor.

  3. Measure from the buckle base to the hole used most often.

  4. Round the result to the nearest whole inch.

  5. If the measurement sits between sizes, opt for the larger size.

That rounded figure is your numeric collar size.

Method 2 — Measuring Your Dog Directly

  1. Use a soft tape measure or a piece of string.

  2. Have your dog sit or stand calmly.

  3. Wrap the tape/string around the neck where the collar normally rests.

  4. Ensure you can slide two fingers between the neck and the measuring tool for comfort allowance.

  5. Mark the meeting point, remove, and measure flat.

  6. Round to the nearest inch; size up if between numbers.

The final measurement corresponds to your collar size.

Horse Neck Strap Sizing Guide

 

Neck straps are designed as a rider safety aid, offering a secure point to hold without interfering with rein contact. Unlike halters or collars, they are not intended to sit snugly against the horse’s neck.

A properly sized strap should create enough space for the rider to comfortably slide a hand underneath and maintain grip while riding over fences, during green horse work, or in high-energy situations.

The strap typically rests at the base of the neck, in front of the withers, where it remains accessible without slipping excessively forward.

Measuring for a Neck Strap

 

You can size a neck strap using either a soft tape measure or a piece of string.

Step 1 — Stand your horse square on level ground.
Step 2 — Identify the placement point: the base of the neck, just ahead of the withers.
Step 3 — Wrap the tape/string around this area.
Step 4 — Add extra length to allow a rider’s hand to fit easily between the strap and the neck (generally 3–5 inches / 7–12 cm of slack).
Step 5 — Record the total circumference.

 

This final number determines your strap size range — not a tight neck measurement.

Standard Neck Strap Size Ranges

These ranges reflect typical sizing across major tack brands and allow adequate grab space for the rider.
